    We arrived with a wheelchair (for my husband) which had a flat tire. The folks at the park…read moregraciously offered us a wheelchair and then took us for an escorted tour on their ATV. Ranger Jim was incredibly knowledgeable and so kind, as was Officer Caleb. We learnt so much which wouldn't have been possible without their help. This park is so important to US history, and its staff demonstrate true Southern hospitality. Thanks so much, Nicola Tarrant-Hoskins and Gary Hisel

    This was a really nice and easy hike. I did the loop, counter-clockwise so I got the reward of the…read moreobelisk marker near the end. If you just want to see that, walk clockwise. This is a smoothly paved 1.5 mile loop trail that covers the ground where the Battle of Kings Mountain took place on October 7, 1780. Considered by Thomas Jefferson, "The turn of the tide of success" this decisive military battle pitched the Patriot forces, known as the Overmountain Men, against the American loyalist militia that was led by British Major Patric Ferguson. Ferguson was killed in the battle and nearly 700 of the Loyalists were taken prisoner. I would consider this slightly harder than easy as there are some inclines. There are benches and captions and a telephone audio tour along the way, so plenty of opportunities for breaks. The site was designated a National Military Park in 1931 and before that, hosted major commemorative events including a speech by President Herbert Hoovery in 1930. There is a gift shop (of course) with mementoes. They also host a breech-loading rifle demonstration if that's something that interests you. Lots of parking and plenty of shade.
